Abstract Steady increase in population and automobiles on the streets and lack of vision and planning has made cities

denser and compact with ever diminishing the much needed green spaces. Green cities have become a utopian

concept. Increase in global warming and creation of Urban Heat Islands have become common. In India trees are

given Ethical, Social and Emotional dimension but conversely, trees and green spaces are neglected by the Urban

Developers and Law Makers. Since 1980’s, there was a wide approach towards sustainable cities, making cities

from gray to green but here also role of green spaces was limited to “city beautification”. Trees are an important

asset for ecological sustainability and biodiversity. Mangalore is perched strategically on the threshold of a

“smart city”. This study gives an account of the green cover present in the city of Mangalore, highlighting the

importance of green zones in major cities not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for benefits they provide to

environment and human population.

Key words: Global warming, Green cover, Urbanisation

INTRODUCTION In the beginning of 20th century, only one tenth of the global population was living in the cities which now has

exceeded 50 percent. This is expected to increase further in future. With the rapid urbanization there has been an

increase in the level of air pollution and global temperature and a steady decrease in green cover of the city.

According to a report by “Save the Children”, every fourth child living in urban India, fall sick every month on

average because of low immunity. Contamination of ground water and increase in the level of air pollution has

damaged immune system of children. Doctors associate high levels of suspended particulate matter and sulphur

dioxide with increased mortality, morbidity and impaired pulmonary function.

The average green space area per capita and green space ratios are mainly two statistical indexes for quantifying

green cover of the city. In 19th century, some experts had put forth a rule, the average volume of carbon dioxide

exhaled by city residents as a standard for determining the green space area per capita and accordingly a 50 m²

green space per person was proposed. In 20th century, experts in Germany, Japan and other countries proposed a

140 m² suburb forest area per capita or a 40 m² urban green space per inhabitant as standard for reaching a

balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen, to meet the ecological balance and compensating human

intervention. Some of the developed countries have adopted green space of 20 m² park area per capita as a

general standard. World Health Organization suggests ensuring at least a minimum availability of 9 m² green

open space per city dweller. Ecological and Environmental Organizations of United Nations had put forward a

standard of 60 m² park area per person as the best living standard for urban environment (Xiao-Jun 2009).

Current challenge in an urban city is to provide clean air and healthy living through conservation and restoration

of urban green spaces. Trees in an urban system helps in maintaining the ecosystems by conserving the

biodiversity by removing atmospheric pollutants, carbon sequestration, recharging oxygen back to the

environment, reducing urban noise, mitigating urban heat island effects and regulating microclimate (Bolund,

2009). Trees helps in improving environment and quality of life in the city.

An urban green space comprises of urban parks, forests and related vegetation. The term “urban trees” includes

trees growing both within the built environment as well as road-side avenues and public places in urban systems.

These add value to the inhabitants in an urban area. Forests Act says 30% of minimum forest cover should be

maintained by a state. In India, master plan of a city suggests approximately 20 to 30% coverage of the total

geographical area for green spaces. According to FSI Report of Delhi 2009, as per population data 2001, average

tree and forest cover is about 20% of geographical area and about 21 m² /inhabitant. From 2001, population in

Delhi has increased and is projected to increase rapidly in future. Services such as enormous housing

development, industrial and infrastructure development etc. has come at the cost of trees.is provided at the cost

of trees. But according to a report published (Apr 16 2015 : The Times of India, Delhi) over one lakh trees were

cut during 2006 - 2014 to make way for Delhi Metro and PWD projects, bringing down the city's green cover to

10%. Metros and Highways have led to massive deforestation. Bangalore and Delhi are best examples for this.

The green cities of 1980’s with green cover of 71% changed to 17% in just three decades. Gray cities with huge

concrete covered ground are creating urban heat islands and making cities unlivable. Practical solution for

reviving and revitalizing the city is by reducing the rate of deforestation for city services. Growing more trees in

the cities will hence control the carbon level of atmosphere. This can be achieved only by mutual support and co-

ordination at different levels from law makers, planners and designers to the common public at an individual

level.

Urban dwellers are dependent on motorized vehicles. Increase of private vehicles in cites, have increased the

level of carbon emission. New Delhi recently was in news for its increased air pollution where more than its 16

million inhabitants are exposed to severely high pollutant concentrations on an annual average basis. It is in this

regard that the Government of Delhi came up with a strategy of introducing Odd-Even scheme in which

privately owned cars were restricted to run on the roads on alternate days based on the last digit (odd/even) of the

registration number. The Delhi government’s scheme was an important move in opening a debate on long-term

solutions to India’s urban problems. Urban environments are an opportunity as it contributes the maximum in

nation’s growth and development. Here lies the importance of implementing effective policies and guidelines for

the protection of public health. Although studies show that odd-even scheme did not work in the sense of

marginal reduction in air pollution (Analysis by Council on Energy, Environment and Water), but it was a clear

success in a political sense and policy level that urban cities of India need more attention to improve the air

quality and that is what urbanizing cities need right now.

Urban planners and designers pay more attention in providing public transport system and discouraging private

vehicles, improving the traffic congestion of the city but rarely focus on improving the air quality by increasing

green cover of the city. Trees can lock up large amounts of carbon in their wood. This is called Carbon

Sequestration. Carbon sequestration is a mechanism for the removal of carbon from the atmosphere by storing it

in the biosphere. Trees play an important role in the global carbon cycle by sequestering a substantial amount of

carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

STUDY AREA

Mangalore, one of the fastest growing metropolitan city in India, is the administrative headquarters of the

Dakshina Kannada district. The city is on the west coast of the Karnataka state and is the largest of all the eight-

urban centers of the district. Mangalore is also the fourth largest city in terms of population in the state.

Mangalore has been selected as one of the Smart Cities to be developed under the Ministry of Urban

Development (MoUD), Government of India's Smart City Mission. Smart city concept (SCC) talks about

improving livability, sustainability and economic development of the city but SCC gives more emphasis on

quantitative scaling of infrastructure and services in terms of transportation, water supply and waste disposal.

Action plans and strategies have neglected the qualitative improvement of the city by providing more green

spaces and conserving the existing green cover of the city.

The Urban Heat Island is a phenomenon where temperatures in urban areas are warmer than the surrounding

rural countryside. This is because more heat has been trapped by concrete structures of the city including roads

and buildings. Studies on microclimate formation through built-up morphology and urban shade trees have

clearly established the importance of urban trees in alleviating the heat island effect in a hot and humid climate

(Bar, 2009). The climate variability in Karnataka was analyzed in 2010 by the India Meteorological Department

(IMD) by analysing daily rainfall data for the period of 1971–2005. Climatic Research Unit (CRU) data for the

temperature for the period 1901–2002 shows that the Costal Karnataka districts have an average rainfall of >25

mm/day. Decrease in precipitation trend has been observed in Coastal Karnataka. Rainfall has decreased by

17.69 mm/day/100 year in Mangalore. There is increase in minimum temperature by 0.141 °C/100 year and

increase in maximum temperature by 0.148° C/100 year in Mangalore (Singh, 2010). As urban green spaces and

urban forests decrease, evapotranspiration rate decreases. Thus, a common measure to mitigate urban heat island

effect is to increase urban green spaces.

Landsat 8 image composites made from Level L1T orthorectified scenes, using the computed Top-of-

Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance are taken to analyse the change in green cover of the city. The two MODIS VIs,

the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI), are produced globally

over land at 1 km and 500 m resolutions and 16 day compositing periods. NDVI is chlorophyll sensitive and EVI

The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) is generated from the Near-IR, Red and Blue bands of each scene, and

ranges in value from -1.0 to 1.0. These composites are created from all the scenes in each annual period

beginning from the first day of the year and continuing to the last day of the year. All the images from each

year are included in the composite, with the most recent pixel as the composite value.

is more responsive to canopy structural variations, including leaf area index (LAI), canopy type, plant

physiognomy, and canopy architecture.

METHODOLOGY

A study was carried out in July, 2016 to calculate Carbon Sequestration by trees in the 37 acres of St Aloysius

College campus. Arial view of the college campus projected around 11 acres canopy of green vegetation in the

campus. Total number of trees in the campus was counted to 1730. The carbon sequestration capacity of a tree

species depends upon its age, height, girth size, biomass accumulation capacity, canopy diameter and most

important wood specific density. So it would vary with species to species and tree to tree. An approximate range

of Carbon Sequestration was calculated by measuring Tree height, Girth size and Biomass Accumulation

Capacity. Total carbon storage was determined to be 332000 kg and total Carbon sequestration rate was found to

be 6640 kg/year.

This study was taken as a live sample study and tried to compare and relate with broader city level. A “Point to

whole” approach was taken for the study of this project. Tree with its canopy (spatial extent) were covered using

vector mapping in GIS using better resolution data (Google Earth).

According to the latest World Bank Records,

per capita Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) emission

in India is 1.7 tonnes. More the population,

more will be the Carbon Emission and hence

will need more number of trees to sequester

the carbon emitted. Hence per capita green

space is calculated to analyse the spatial

distribution of trees and population.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Currently the main Central Business District (CBD) region of Mangalore has less per capita green space. Central

Market (41), Bandaru (44) have less that 10% green cover. Per capita green cover of these two wards are

approximately 10.8 m2/ inhabitant and 1.1 m

2/inhabitant which is. Port (45), Cantonment (46) and Mangaladevi

(56) and Bolar (58) have less than 12% green cover. These wards near port, are old part of the city where

population density is high and city has grown in unplanned haphazard manner. Derebail (17) region is new

developing part of the city with many emerging high rise apartments and housing colonies. This ward also has

green cover less than 15% and green space/ inhabitant less than 15m2. Baikampady (10) is a new industrial

region which has very less population density. Currently this ward has approximately 26% green cover and since

the region has very low density, green cover/ capita is 242.83m2

. When regions around industrial sector grow

and more population migrate towards that region there can be pressure on green cover. This is what happened in

new developed regions around Derebail. With the decrease in per capita green space, city also becomes less

livable.

In 2005, Gujarat Urban Development Mission (GUDM) of the Urban Department and Forest department took

initiative of Nagar Nandan Van Yojna. This programme helped to improve tree cover in the state. In 2009,

Gujarat Urban Development Department emphasized on Urban Green Plan to improve tree cover. The provision

for creation of Panchavati, Smriti Van, Sanskritic Van, Oxygen park, green guard etc. have been made to involve

people, NGOs and civic society to plant trees in the open space. Schools and educational institutions were also

involved in such programmes. With such initiatives there was a drastic increase in Urban Green. Such initiatives

can be taken up by Mangalore Urban Development Authority with community level participation. New

evaluative programmes can be initiated among different wards with the fundamental criteria like per capita green

space, green space to land ratio, green space canopy coverage ratio and funds can be allotted accordingly via

different schemes.

For this, initial step could be to count and assess the present tree cover and the status of environment. This is

necessary to estimate the diversity of trees in the city. This can be done with the help of Social Forestry Unit of

Karnataka Forest Department. Tree census will create a baseline to monitor tree cover in different wards and will

also help in assessing Carbon storage and also scope of Carbon sequestration in the Urban areas. Calculating the

population and number of trees in each ward will indicate whether the region has sufficient green space for

health and livability or if there is a need to increase the green cover of that region. Therefore, we can calculate

number of trees needed to be planted to meet a minimum standard of 15 m2 tree cover/inhabitant in city. It might

be difficult to increase tree cover beyond a limit in some of the municipal corporation areas due to non-

availability of the space. This gap can be compensated by increasing tree cover in sub-urban areas under Urban

Development Authorities but it needs to be taken care that new trees planted should be near the ward boundary

itself so that the purpose for which these trees are planted (supply of oxygen, carbon sequestration, etc.) is

sufficed.

Mangalore city is growing at a very fast rate and an effective, planned and systematic management of the trees in

the city is needed. If the growth of cities is not properly planned, this can lead to Urban Heat Islands with

climatic changes and unlivable conditions. An approach towards “Urban tree management” should be stressed

upon. City planners and designers need to be more sensitive towards ecological balance and sustainability. Trees

are often considered as second thought after the development has already taken place rather than being

incorporated as original design phase. Hence proper planning is needed for large scale development. Before the

city expands further, a proper vision should be taken by administrative authorities for making the city green. This

can be achieved by regulating land availability in the form of parks and gardens and forest patches and giving

more emphasis on road side plantation. Urban forestry manages and protects forests and helps in planting new

trees on barren lands with the purpose of helping in the environmental, social and urban development. Urban

forestry department can be linked with Urban planning department such that Social Forestry and Urban forestry

can be integrated into Urban Planning. In Smart City Concept, Green cover of the city needs to be considered as

an infrastructure of the city for sustaining human population and quality of life and funding for increasing green

cover of the city can be allotted as infrastructure development to enhance the quality of life in city.

APPENDIX

For Calculating Carbon sequestration rate

1. There are two methods of carbon estimation in tree species: destructive method and non - destructive

method. The latter one is approved by many researchers. For St Aloysius College campus study, non-

destructive method for carbon estimation is employed. In this method we need not harvest the entire bio

- volume and sacrifice the tree.

2. The girth of the tree is measured at the girth at breast height (GBH) 1.32 m above ground surface.

3. Tree diameter (D) is measured as (assuming the tree trunk to be cylindrical) Biomass

in the above listed tree species is calculated by simply applying bio-statistics based allometric

equations.

4. Above Ground Biomass (AGB) is estimated by multiplying the bio - volume to the green wood density

(WD) of tree species. Tree bio - volume (Tbv) value is calculated by the value multiplying the diameter

and height of tree species by a factor 0.4.

………… (1)

............... (2)

5. Where H = Height (meter). Wood density is used from Global wood density database, The standard

average density of 0.6 gm/ cc (600kg/cc) is applied wherever the density value is not available for tree

species.

6. The Below Ground Biomass (BGB) is calculated by multiplying the above ground biomass (AGB) by a

factor of 0.26 as the root to shoot ratio

………….. (3)

7. Total Biomass (TB) is the sum of the above and below ground biomasses.

8. Carbon Estimation: Generally, for any plant species 50% of its biomass is considered as carbon (C)

content in the tree

…………… (5)

9. Determination of the weight of carbon dioxide sequestered in the tree:

10. CO2 is composed of 1 molecule of Carbon and 2 molecules of Oxygen. The atomic weight of Carbon is

12.001115. The atomic weight of Oxygen is 15.9994. The weight of CO2 is C+2O = 43.999915. The

ratio of CO2 to C is 43.999915/12.001115 = 3.6663. Therefore, the weight of CO2 sequestered in the

tree is determined by multiplying the weight of carbon obtained in equation (5) by a factor of 3.6663

i.e.,

……………. (6)

11. The carbon sequestration rate was calculated as 1% of the standing biomass each year.
